Superman has seen his share of on-screen incarnations since debuting in the pages of "Action Comics" No. 1 in June 1938.

The Man of Steel has been played by eight actors since Oxford native Kirk Alyn first put on the tights in 1948. Though the late Christopher Reeve and George Reeves are arguably the two most well-known of the group, the list includes Dean Cain, of "Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman" fame, Gerard Christopher, Tom Welling and Brandon Routh.
